Classic Ind part rip off
- Thread starter FU64RY
- Start date
4 items from Classic that fit into a sockerball size box. first pic over $60 shipping. Weighed less than 4 pounds.
2nd pic from eBay box was 3 times the classic, total $84 including shipping and tax. What a rip off. I try to avoid them as much as possible.

Most of the shippers let Amazon stuff go for almost free, so, they make it up on other orders.

Did you check Summit Racing, they have free shipping over $99. That linkage part would’ve been dropped shipped from the factory.

Their shipping costs make me buy elsewhere. Example.....wanted a new distributor cap for my GTX. Their price wasn't bad but the shipping almost doubled what I would pay. I went to local Napa and purchased part MO20 (with brass contacts) and counter guy gave me 10% off. Paid $19.00. And yes it was tan in color.

I always wait until I find one of Classic Industries free shipping deals over X amount of dollars, or I use their 20% off deals to at least cover most of their ridiculous shipping charges.
I just ordered 10 bottles of whiskey and they charged me $34 Shipping from New York to Iowa. It will come in 2 boxes I'm sure and it was through Fed Ex so they may arrive in pieces.

I recently bought a couch for my rv. The company that handled it (assuming manufacturer) sold it for a lot less than the WM price, but WM included free shipping I decided to go with manufacturer because even with shipping it was around a hundred dollars less than WM. Then came the news to me that Florida charges taxes on shipping. Even with the tax it cost me less, just didn’t save the $100. I think Pa also charges the tax.
Tax on goods and services. I could see that happening, I don't like it but I can see it happening.

Same with Year One - 30% off versus free shipping versus bend over versus find it somewhere else
Ridiculous shipping is nothing new , honestly
Year One was doing it decades ago

The shipping fees they charge are more than excessive. I would never order anything shipped from classic unless they offered a free shipping option. I live about 45 mins from them, so I plan my purchases when im going to be in their area so I can pick my stuff up.

"I only buy free shipping", lol. Nothing is free. The cost is just buried in the price and/or handling fees (if any).
The fact is, shipping costs (like everything else) have gone up quite a bit in past few years. Now tariffs might need to be covered too, and I have no doubt that some of those costs are being hidden in "shipping" by some sources. You have to be more savvy than ever.
